Abstract

For hundreds of years the function of Landscape Planning has been the design of landscape artifacts such as parks, gardens, waterworks for the leisure class. To spend part of one’s life in a landscape where man had succeeded in over-ruling nature was considered a luxury which could be attained only by the richest families. To live close to nature, adapted to ecosystems, to topography and to the seasonal changes of climate was the regrettable fate of the poor peasants, shepherds and woodsmen, and even of townspeople in times of distress.
